Photos of paint splashes in mid-air by Martin Klimas show what music looks like

German artist Martin Klimas set out
to answer the question "What does music look like?". In order to
find out, he selects some music, puts splatters of different colours of
paint on a translucent sheet over the diaphragm of a speaker and then turns
up the volume. The vibrations of the speaker send the paint up into the air,
creating beautiful patterns and sculptural forms, and Klimas photographs the
results. He typically chooses dynamic and percussive music such as Steve
Reich, Miles Davis or Jimi Hendrix.
